I wish someone would explain to me why people in this country that is so economically distressed voted for a candidate who promised to keep them in poverty by pursuing failed socialist policies that are destroying this once-great nation. Let the government give out more free stuff to keep it this way, and it’s getting worse, because it’s a matter of “tell me what you want to hear, not the way it really is.” There really wasn’t much difference between either of the presidential candidates. I’m an Independent and worked all my life. I see what’s going on around me and it doesn’t look good.
